You have 21.7% to get ahead on turn, you need 22.5% (this is assuming that your opponent is pot commited and has an overpair, both are pretty certain). If you don't improve on turn I can't understand why you would call as it's an obvious mistake. Peace of mind cant be bought.

Posts 20070 yeah i know - it was a terrible call- i realized now optimal play would be to check raise all in on the flop i donked this hand up haaaard Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same
